Hello Lyonheart:
Nice to meet you!
So sorry your having a hard time with the asthma. Keep on top of the doctors about
the Xolair it could help you. i don't use Xolair but from what I read it might help you. I've had asthma all my life too so your not alone there. I've had about
5 asthma flairs this year with one time at the Emergency room. I had an Asthmatic Attack to the Medrol Dose Pack. I'm okay with prednisone but any other type of steroids triggers an asthma flair. They can't test anyone for steroid allergies. like you I'm allergic to Dust and Dogs and now also plant molds and I really like plants.
I use the following meds and they help me:
Asmanex
Singulair
Clarinex
A saline nasal spray
X
openex as needed this is better than albuterol
Zantac - stomach med
I cannot use the advair disk as it makes me cough so I can't recommend it and I did use it correctly. might be another med allergy for me.
Good luck to you and you have my prayers too

oops sorry I also use Astelin
